With our voices sounding different to us (I believe because of resonance through the bones and skull?), how does a singer know when they are on key compared to an external source?

You hear and feel the fundamental frequencies *more* inside your head than other people do.

Believe it or not experienced musicians are *feeling* dissonance and attempting to align waves to a pleasant ratio. They aren’t so much “listening” to themselves and making adjustments like you’d think.

If you are singing alone, that’s when you have to listen, and is much harder. When you are trying to match other instruments or singers all they listen to is the *other* stuff.
